Following the deadly liquor scandal in Sagar, officials and opposition are scrutinising the posting and actions of SP Anurag Sujania.
The recent poisonous liquor episode in Sagar, which resulted in several deaths, has revived scrutiny of the district’s senior police officer, SP Anurag Sujania. Sujania, who was transferred from Muraina earlier this year, is now heading the Sagar police force and is facing criticism over his handling of the case.
Opposition leaders and local activists allege that the investigation was delayed and that key evidence was not promptly secured, raising doubts about the effectiveness of the police response. They have demanded a transparent inquiry into the circumstances that allowed the illicit liquor to reach consumers.
State officials have so far declined to comment on the allegations, while the police department has stated that a standard procedure is being followed. The controversy underscores growing public concern over law‑enforcement accountability in Madhya Pradesh’s liquor‑related incidents.
The matter is expected to be examined by senior officials of the state home department, with calls for possible reassignment of the officer if procedural lapses are confirmed.
